    Most Stable Isomer: Ortho, Meta, or Para Benzene?

    well then that makes things a lot more clearer...know assuming you know how the orth meta and para positions look like on a molecule and the trend for increasing ionic radius you can further deduce that bromine is a fairly large molecule thus it wants its space otherwise if forced to close to...

    Most Stable Isomer: Ortho, Meta, or Para Benzene?

    you may want to check the question just incase you may have miss-spelt the compound. For example ortho-di-chlorobenzene can be compared to meta or para dichlorobenze in terms of stabilites

    Most Stable Isomer: Ortho, Meta, or Para Benzene?

    your question makes no sense seing as benzen has no substituants to compare stability. And no hydrogens don't count as substituants

    How to calculate the pI of a peptide?

    How to calculate the pI of a peptide?? Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can shed some light on this question. I know the general idea behind it but i can't seem to put the nail in the coffin. The sequence is ATLDAK and it asks to : Calculate its approximate pI This is what i have so...

    Organic Chem- acid catalyzed reation

    actually you are mistaken, tertiary carbocations are not the most stable The order is as follows: Substituded Allylic> 3 > Allylic > 2 >1 >Vinylic > Methyl

    Organic Chemistry - Camphor Synthesis

    Hello guys and girls. I am writing to you all today in hopes that someone out there will be able to help me with my problem. I am asked to synthesize the molecule camphor starting merely from acetly-CoA and Acetic Acid. This must be done in a biological manner. Ie. The Co-A group will be...

    How does adding a salt of a weak acid to its solution affect the pH?

    Well you don't exactly know if the ph will change because your not given any concentration exactly. But if a conjugate salt is added and the the concentration is less then the buffer capacity then the pH will change. You can't just simply say the pH will change. It will only change if the...

    How does adding a salt of a weak acid to its solution affect the pH?

    A buffer is simply a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Buffers work by reacting with any added acid or base to control the pH. Thus if the salt of the conjugate pair was added to the buffer mixture then there would not be a change in pH due...

    How can activation energy affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

    the double bond in the alkene alows for roation. Due to the rigidity of the double bond, molecules direclty in contact with the bond have a very hard time moving but the two free bonds on each molecule ( asuming its a two carbon chain) are albe to roate freely. This condition is know as Cis...

    Calculating Normal Force on Block on Wedge

    A block of mass m is placed on a wedge. The wedge is pushed along a horizontal surface with accelertation a, so that the block stays in place on the wedge, even though there is no friction between the block and the wedge. The normal force acting on the block during the acceleration is equal to...

    Mastering Derivation: Techniques for Simplifying Formulas in Physics and Math

    I just have a quick question. I know that in physics and any other math, you can short cut your way if you know various relationships and thus you can derive various forumlas from a few simple ones. Is there any trick to doing this or an easier way, because i have never really been exceptionally...
